Delegates at the event said:

The range of presentations was very good and thought provoking, building on the knowledge that joint working works and needs to be extended.

The opportunities to access the thoughts and needs of commissioning officers through the networking opportunities this provided was very valuable.

I have already had more value out of this event than some conferences I have paid a lot of money to attend and its not even lunchtime yet!
